Here’s what Dana Bourgeois says about their Adirondack Spruce:
“Adirondack spruce, also known as Eastern Red Spruce, was the legendary topwood used on most pre-war American-made guitars. Properly sawn, Adirondack is much stiffer than Sitka and Engelmann spruce, both along and across the grain. This allows us to make thinner, lighter tops, resulting in lightning-quick response and power to spare. Most guitar grade “Adirondack” Spruce these days comes from our own backyard–the state of Maine, which still has large stands of original and second growth softwood forests.”
Includes hardshell case.
